Jai Eugene......

The other thread about 2009 starters made me bring this up. That guy had Hawkins and PP as starters.
I know everyone was hating on Jai before this season but I think he has actually had a great season.
Other than the Georgia touchdown to Green, when there was a terrible corner blitz called, and the South Carolina play where he went after the QB and left the receiver open downfield, which was incomplete anyway, I don't think he's given up many plays.
He's also a beast against the run and in the flat on screens.
I don't think Hawkins has been bad, but to just assume he'll start over Jai doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
Anybody else agree, or am I offbase?

He has had a pretty good season. He looks better this year, as opposed to the few times he played last year

be honest. if he was having that great of a season we wouldn't be seeing PP that much or PP would be subing in for hawkins.
i won't argue he has improved and i hope he continues to next year.
jai might be the nickleback or come in on the dime next year if PP turns into the corner we expect him to.
which will be great facing the spread offense.

hawkins has been our best corner this year. him and PP will be lock down corners next season.

Jai has had a good year, espescially his first year starting against serious competition. He's a brightspot on this team going forward.

I agree. I think he's been our best corner all year, as Hawkins is thrown at the most out of the two. Obviously though Peterson's got a higher ceiling than either and should be starting ASAP.

I'd like to see Jai possibly play the nickel spot, full-time, or split with Francois. Have Hawkins, Peterson, Brooks and P. Jones play corner, and Hatcher, McCray, Coleman and C. Jones rotate at Safety. B Taylor will redshirt this year and provide depth at CB next year. That's MY DB wishlist for 2009. (I think McCray looks much better as a safety.)

Jai has played well, he's playing the ball this year...looking back for it, last year he just ran into the man while in perfect position. Next year we are going to be very strong in the CB position with Jai, Hawkins, PP, Phelon Jones, and Brandon Taylor.

he is the most underrated player n the team. no one throws in his direction at all.
